3 things to consider when shopping for a deodorant
We all have unique ways of sweating. If you're one of the lucky ones who sweat only a little, a perfumed deodorant may suffice to keep your afternoon sweat odours at bay. But if you sweat more, an antiperspirant is your go-to solution. Antiperspirants work by reducing how much you sweat. This is done with the help of antibacterial aluminium salts that reduce sweat production. As a result, the sweat smell is neutralized. The bacteria cause the odour, not the sweat itself, which is actually odourless.

Do you suffer from itchy armpits after using deodorant or antiperspirant? The likely culprit is the perfume in the product. If you're looking for a solution, try replacing your current deodorant with a perfume-free option.
Alcohol in deodorants can also be a trigger for sensitive skin. So you might want to opt for an alcohol-free option if fragrance-free doesn't work.
Cream, roll-on, crystals, spray – there are many different options to choose from:
- Roll-on is the classic option. It comes in liquid form, and you apply it to the armpit using packaging with a ball to spread the product.
- Cream deodorant is thicker and can come in a tube or stick form. It's great for those who prefer a more hydrating option.
- Deodorant sticks are similar to cream deodorants but are slightly firmer in texture. They provide excellent coverage and are easy to apply.
- Gel deodorant can take a little longer to dry, but it provides excellent protection against sweat.
- Crystal deodorant is a solid salt deodorant that's first soaked in water and then rubbed into the armpit for just over 10 seconds.
